PITTSBURGH – Junior Katie Chamberlain and sophomore Ciara Ward each picked up event titles for the Pitt gymnastics team (0-2, 0-1 EAGL) at the Panthers' home opener Sunday afternoon against No. 23 Kent State (2-0, 1-0 MAC) at Fitzgerald Field House.
The Golden Flashes earned the team win by a score of 194.600-191.600.
Chamberlain earned her second consecutive title on bars with a career-best 9.900. The score ties for eighth place all-time in the Pitt gymnastics record book. She is the first Panther to earn a 9.900 or better on bars since Michaela Burton in 2020.
Ward earned her first event title of the year with a 9.800 on vault, marking a season-high score for the sophomore.

Ward led the way for Pitt with a season-high 9.800 in the Panthers' first event. Three more Panthers earned season-high scores: Olivia Miller with a 9.775, Emily Liszewski with a 9.775, and Katrina Coca making her event debut with a 9.375. Pitt earned its highest event score in the first rotation with a 48.350 on vault.
